Thinking about signing up for IMNC 70.3, but trying to work through logistics.

I would be flying into Wilmington. After the race, I would fly on to another destination for work. So was planning on using TriBike transport rather than trying to travel with my bike.

I was not planning on renting a car, but instead relying on uber/ taxi for to/from airport.

If I use TriBike Transport, and pick up my bike at the Ironman village, is there a shuttle that I can use to get my bike out to T1? Do I need a car?

Any particular place to stay hotel wise? I was planning on near the finish.
